Hello, infant diarrhea is commonly caused by factors such as cold exposure, breast milk diarrhea, viral infections, enteritis, or dysbiosis. It is important to pay attention to proper feeding, ensure the hygiene of the baby's milk intake, and avoid exposure to cold. Simethicone can be taken, and Erythromycin patches can be used for symptomatic treatment.
